Features
The American Megatrends Goliath Quad Pentium Pro™ EISA PCI system
supports one to four Intel® Pentium Pro CPUs operating at 180 MHz or higher
speeds.
Components The Goliath consists of several components:
a baseboard that includes the EISA and PCI expansion slots and most of
the electronics,
a primary and a secondary CPU Card. Each CPU Card can have 1 or 2
Pentium Pro CPUs,
A Terminator Card (used only if the second CPU Card is not installed),
and a
memory card.
The Goliath system was designed to run with the memory card and both CPU
Cards installed on the baseboard. However, the second CPU Card does not have
to be installed if a Series 733 GTL terminator is installed in J8, the CPU Card 2
connector.
CPUs The Pentium Pro CPUs are mounted on two separate CPU Cards for easy CPU
upgrades. Each CPU card holds one or two Pentium Pro CPUs. All Intel
Pentium Pro CPUs use 3.3V.
System Memory The Goliath system supports up to 1 GB of onboard system memory through
eight 8 DIMM sockets. This system supports four-way interleaved memory
operation for maximum performance. The system supports 168-pin DIMMs.
The system memory supports ECC (Error Checking and Correction).
